11.5 Operation of Oven Burners and Oven Adjustments 11.5.1 Electric Ignition Burners Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks, and range has been connected to electric power. disengage front of oven bottom from oven front frame, and pull the oven bottom out of the oven. Remove burner baffle so that burner flame can be observed. If the flame is yellow, increase air shutter opening size (see "2" in Figure 14). If the entire flame is blue, reduce the air shutter opening size. The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with a waist-high broil burner igniter, it will also have an electric burner igniter. These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will "glow" similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the display setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after igniter goes "OFF". To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the display is set to operate. After removing ail packing materials and literature from the oven: a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300%. See Use & Care Guide for operating instructions. b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset controls to off. c) If your model is equipped with a high-waist broiler, set oven to broil. See Use & Care Guide for operating instructions. d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for proper flame. Reset controls to off. 11.5.2 Air Shutter-Oven Burner To adjust frame loosen lock screw (see "3" in Figure 14), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.

When Aii Hookups are Complete Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position. Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range is unobstructed.
